EBG focal feed improvements for Ka-Band multibeam space applications
Abstract : This letter presents the enhancement of an electromagnetic band-gap (EBG) antenna that is used to feed a reflector antenna for a space multibeam application in Ka band. One of the main difficulties in a typical focal feed cluster design is to obtain high illumination performances with neighbored and close radiating elements. The new structure presented in this letter tackles this difficulty by using a two-level EBG antenna as a multibeam focal feed. This last one is designed to illuminate a side-fed offset cassegrain antenna (SFOCA) working in Ka band and dedicated to a multibeam telecommunication coverage over Europe. A prototype has been measured, and the reflector antenna performances have been evaluated in order to show the good results obtained with this new multibeam focal feed.
